The wife is religiously obligated to obey her husband in matters that do not involve disobedience to Allah, as Allah the Almighty says: "Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth." If she refuses to sleep with him in the same room, this is a reprehensible act, and she must comply. If she persists in her refusal after being advised, she is considered disobedient (nashiz) and should be dealt with according to what the prescribes.
